It is just as well for colleges to fe honest in their advertising. People seldom expect circuses to come up to the promises of their show bills, but educational insti tutions are supposed to be imbued with a higher moral sense, and it is not expected that they will resort to deception and tricks in order to increase their attendance. The State University at Eugene advertises free tuition to all stu dents. In almost all its posters this is the only reference to the cost, but in some of the newspa per advertisements it is stated toward the bottom, that "the fltniversity charges an incidental fee of ten dollars, which is paya ble in advance by all students." If such a fee is charged the tui tion is not free, and the school has no right to advertise that it is. The university should tell the professor of diplomacy to take a vacation from his duties as ad. -writer and turn that chair over to the professor of moral culture. When the regents of the Agri cultural College advertise free tuition they mean it. The stu dent of the O. A. C. has to pay no tuition whatever, whether called tuition, incidental lee, or any other name; and not only is the tuition free, but the students in the agricultural and mechani cal departments can, if they will, earn almost, if not quite, enough money, by working on the farm or iu the shop, to pay their expenses through school Attention is again called to the fact that last year several young men walked from Coos Bay to Corvallis to attend school, arriv ing here almost penniless. They stayed throughout the year, and by hard work and careful man agement of their earnings, they aid all their collegiate expen ses. Their labors evidently did not interfere with their studies, for these boys were the nrst in their classes and one of them was elected president of the freshman class. A tuition fee of ten or fifteen dollars ter annum oi course is considered but a nominal fee by a ereat manv students whose parents can and do pay all expen ses. but it means considerable to those who must make their own wav through college. It is the latter class p-enerallv that make the most of their opportunities, and it is that class, if any, that should be shown favors. Hence the abolishment of tuition fees was not only generous, but wisely generous. The Lincoln County Leader takes the acquittal of M. M. Da vis very much to heart. It seems that Mr. Davis, who was cashier of the Yaquina branch of Hamil ton, Job & Co., transferred all the funds at Yaquina to 'the par ent institution upon its failure, acting under the direction of the court. For so doing he was indicted bv the errand iury of Lincoln county and the court directed the trial jury to bring in a verdict of "not guilty." The Leader says, "This may be law but it is not. iustice." That paper is mistaken. It is justice, and it was justice to compel the creditors of the Lincoln county bank to bear their proportion of the loss caused by the failure of the parent institution. They were doing business with Hamil ton, Job, & Co. not with M. M Davis. It was the supposed standing of the Corvallis house that gave credit to its Yaquina branch. Had the latter's assets been less in proportion to the lia bilities than those of the Corval lis bank, instead of greater, the Lincoln county creditors would have loudly demanded that they be recognized as co-creditors of the general institution, as they were. H. J. & Co. did not main tain two separate banks. Their bank was at Corvallis, and the Yaquina institution was a part and parcel of it. A creditor of one was a creditor of the other. In any event not a particle of blame could attach to Mr. Davis. He simply acted as the court, directed. If the Leader voices the sentiment of the Lincoln county people it will be impossi ble for Mr. Davis to receive any- , thing like justice in that county in any future matters that might , arise as a result of the batik j failure. i EVILS OF -SENSATIONAL. JOUR NALISM. : The San Francisco newspapers not only reflect the peculiar and deplorable moral condition of the California people, but they feed and foster the morbid appetites of their readers. The San Fran cisco Examiner is the leading type of those papers that consid er it enterprising to spread before j the people highly colored .and j sensational details of every revolt- j ing crime that its reporters can j scent out. The man of good i sense and sound morals does not , care to wade through a column of j sensationalisms in order to get a few lines of fact. Nothing tends to foster isms and general rest lessness among the people more than the attitude of such papers. The people of Oregon are more solid in every mental attribute than those ot California. The newspapers of the two states not only show this to be true, but are to a great extent responsible lor the state of affairs. The leading paper of Oregon is the Oregonian. In fact it is the paper of the state. It con tains daily all the important news of the world in a plain, readable shape. The paper has always taken a high stand on public questions. It is often on tne unpopular side, for the masses are not always alert as to what are reallv their best interests. Indeed, the attitude of the Ore gonian has often been officiously lofty, destroying much of its power for good. Its position has not always been right, nor just. It is often unjustly cruel in its treatment of men and measures, but the general tone of the paper, although sometimes its standard is set on impossible heights, has a beneficial effect upon the peo ple's moral sentiment and ideas of political economy. It is a critic, not a flatterer. It treats its readers as an honest, just mer chant treats his customers. The attitude of such papers as the Examiner toward the public is similar to that which character izes the professional gambler in his dealings with his patrons. The press of San Francisco attempt to hoist every petty crim inal into great notoriety a noto riety that they covet and are willing to die to obtain. They foster criminality and create crim inals. They have studied the art of keeping alive public inter est in crimes, and the Durrant murder case shows the perfection to which they have attained in this respect. It was indeed an unusual, peculiar, mysterious and awful affair, but had such a crime been committed in Portland, ex citement would have died out in a few days. People would cer tainly have felt a passive interest in the progress of the trial and in the efforts of the police to solve the mystery, but that would be all. There is small hope for news paper reform in California. The appetite of the people for sensa tionalism has been so built up that the successful gratification of it is a paying business. They want the "dime novel" style of a newspaper and of course they will be able to get it. It is eas ier to corrupt people than to reform them. A PRACTICAL INSTITUTION. The Oregon Agricultural Col lege is thoroughly a practical institution. It aims to give its students a practical education an education for use. It does not neglect the sesthetical nor the mental sciences, but everything that is taught is intended to have a direct bearing on the actual condition of life. The merits of the institution are not yet fully known throughout the state. That this is so is manifested in the surprise shown by visitors at the scope, equipment and thor oughness of the school. The various departments are presided over by more than twenty profes sors, all thorough masters of the different branches, and efficient educators. The buildings and apparatus are all of modern style and first-class in every particular. Corvallis is a good, moral town. Her citizens are such as one would naturally expect to find in a college town and are alive to the fact that the best interests of the college are identical with the interests of the city. The Agri cultural College is not a reform school, but it is the constant endeavor of the faculty and citi zens of Corvallis to remove any undue temptations to students from abroad. The college can be commended to those parents Vno wish to give their boys and girls a practical, useful education. Or. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Award. ' Since January istthe imports at New York are about $48,000, 000 greater than during the cor responding period last year. The world is still getting our markets instead of our getting "the mar kets of the world," as was prom ised as a result of the Wilson Gorman tariff. The Washington Star says that Mr. Cleveland's particular friends at the capital are very close mouthed on the third-term ques tion, but there is a very general opinion among those known to be in the confidence of the administration that Mr. Cleve land very" strongly desires a renomination. The Cleveland administration has already increased the nation al debt $297,412,011 by the defi cit, the principal and interest of the item bond sales. A FATA. I, ACCIDENT. An accident attended with fatal results occurred last Thursday afternoon on the Thurston farm, near Wells. Charles Suber, who lust his Ufa, was driving a bundle wsg- ; ou with a threshing crew. When near tnB ' machine, with a load of Erain, one of the wheels of the won which he was driving struck a stunm with such fnr . tn tfirnv i him headlong off the load onto the double trees. This frightened the horses and, as they started to run away, Suber dropped to the ground, one of the front wheels of the heavily laden wngoli passing over his legs, and one of the hind wheels over his b.-.dy. The injuries sustained by the nu- fortunate man were of an internal nature j and though a physician was summoned from Buena Vista immediately after the accident, he only lived about twelve hours. The deceased was about thirty-eight years of age, a native of Germany, and unmar ried. Previous to last November, he had Ween in the employ of Geo. W. Smith for a period of six years, and was regarded as faithful, honest and industrious. The re mains were interred in the cemetery at Buena Tista Thursday afternoon. Small Beginnings Make groat endings sometimes. Ailments that we are apt to consider trivial often grow, through neglect, into atrocious maladies, dangerous in themselves and productive of others. It is disregard of the earlier indica tions of ill health which leads to the estab lishment of all sorts of maladies on a chronic basis. Moreover, there are certain disorders incident to the season, such as malaria and rheumatism, against which it is always desir able to fortify the system after exposure to the conditions which produce them. Cold, damp and miasma are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, After you have incurred risk from these influences, a wineglassful or two of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters directly afterward should be swal lowed. For malaria, dyspepsia, liver com plaint, kidney and bladder trouble, nervous ness and debility it is the most deservedly popular of remedies and preventives.

A blaze at any time ii bad enough, but ten time worse is it when your regular Sunday morning suooee is interfered with by the clanging of the bell, which eervrs notice that you must up and drtss !nd proceed in stanter to the scene of the conflagration or pay the penalty. This penalty t members of the department is fifty cent for each offense and it a .rves splendidly as a medium for bringing out a fall attendance whenewr an alarm is turned in, no matter what day or hour. Perhaps this- was not the cause for bringing out so many of the boys last Sun day morning, btt devotion to duty alone will hardly causo the average citizen to fore go his Sunday morning's nap, so it is be lieved that the fear of the penalty was a potent force in getting the fire laddies out last Sunday. The alarm was turned in a ftw minutes after seven o'clock and the blaze proved to be at the old planing mill on First street. This is the second time this structure has been on fire during the past month and each time it has been saved from serious damage by the prompt arrival and efficient service of the department. The blaze is thought to have been ot incendiary origin, from the fact that there had been no fire abont the prrmists after the mill was shut down the vening previous. Mr. Sheasgreeu, one of the proprietors, Eaya that before leaving the running Saturday menc, ne mho era- '""y around the boiler and engine room tor evidences of tire and is certain tnat mere were none. The fire started in the north east corner of the building, only a few feet distant from the boiler, and ran up the sid ing to the roof, but the damage was only slight. However, the supports of a large beam which held the boiler in place, wag burned away, allowing it to drop slightly of position. The repairing of this took some time, but the mill is now running as usual. IN JAII, ON A SERIOUS CHARGE. Last winter a young man, hailing from Southern Oregon, was expelled from the Agricultural College. At the time it was not generally known for what cause he was requested to leave, but it was understood that his offense was a grave one. Since leaving college his whereabouts have been unknown to his former friends in this city, but it was the general impression that he had drifted into the southern portion of the state. His name was Garland Stemler. The following item taken from last Thursday's Examiner, dated at Yreka, California, probably refers to the same young mm and shows that his career of crime did not end upon leaving Corvallis, btit that ha had developed into one of the worst of criminals: "The two prisoners in the county jail, Louis Marnio, a Spaniard, aiad Garland Stemler, an American, charged with the at tempted robbery and murder at Bailey Hill, Monday night, refuse to make any state ment, except to assert their innocence. ' "Stemler, who was arrested in Pokcgama this morning and brought here, was imme diately taken to the county hospital, where he was fully identified as one of the robbers by one of the victims, who lies seri ously, but not necessarily fatally, wonnded, having been shot twice in the head and once iu the neck. Oa his way to the jail, the officers questioned Stemler as to how he got blood on hin coat. He claimed it was from pf squirrel he had killed. "Manrnio was also identilied by Miller. Maurnio had a wounded hand, which he claims was caused by an oyster can, but the doctors this morning pronounced it a pistol wound. Maurnio has written ts the Span ish consul. He claims he has wealthy rela tives. He claims he has wealthy relatives. He has engaged Lawyer Farraher as his at torney, and, as the evidence against him is circumstantial, he will make a hard fight. "George Sears, the other victim, still lies at the point of death at Bailey Hill, with no hope of his recovery. He has survived two serious shooting scrapes. The officers are confident they have the right man." DEATH OF MRS. A. LEUBLUNO. Tuesday morning, at the family residence in Linn county, adjoining the farm of Jos eph Yates, after a lingering and painful ill ness, Mrs A. Leuelling died of internal cancer of the breast. The deceased has been a resident of Oregon but two years and was a comparative stranger outside of the immediate neighborhood in which she lived. But with those with whom she was associated, she was regarded as a person of more than ordinary refinement. She dis played those noble characteristics which go to make up the life of a loving mother and devoted wife. Prior to coming to Oregon, her husband practiced law in Kcnsas. Ha is the only brother of Ex-Governor Leuel ling, of that state, aud at one time figured quite prominently in politics there. He cm to Oregon and settled, iu hopes of benefiting the health of his family by the change. Ia response to a telegram, Mrs. Etta Frank, their only married daughter, arrived from Kansas only a few hours pre vious to her mother s death. The deceased leaves a husband and three children, one son and two daughters, who, with a large circle of friends, will monrn her demise. $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded dis ease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its cura tive powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testimonials. Address, F. J.

Editor of Gazette: The following words are from a circular that is being circulated over the state, and I think best to call attention to it as being one of the many frauds that are beiug per petrated in these dsys. I also desire to cau tion your rerders against being led into the purchase of the stuff, which is doubtless nothing more aor less thaa the now well known "black pepsin," whieh analysis proves to be 84 parts common salt, 14 parts of anato and two parts of rennet and or ganic matter. Two ounces ef the mate rial is sold for $2.50 and is really worth about 3 oenta. There are several other mixtures of a similar nature and for a sim ilar purpose being foisted on the people. The words referred to are: To whom it may concern: I am able to demonstrate to any person that one pound of creamery but ter can be increased from twenty-five to fifty per oeut., both in weight and volume, by the additioa of sweet milk. One pound of butter is capable af taking up one half pound of milk. This is done without low ering the grade. No trace ot foreign mat ter is left in the butter thus treated." The family right for the use of this method is offered for the small sum of $5. Persons who are so "penny wise, pound foolish" as to purchase any of the ao called rights should bear in mind that by its use they become fit subjects for dealing with the state food commissioner, by rendering themselves liable to prosecution. Besides, such practice is bound to aot as a boomerang and destroy what reputation for good butter making the users of the artiele may have previously had. Farmers should aot be deeeived into baying the mixtures, for the material (we cannot call it butter) made with its aid boob spoils and ia nnGt for trade. The claim that the yield of butter ia increased is simply false. The so-called in crease is brought about by incorporating with the batter fat the casein, milk sugar, and other constituents f the milk, and the decomposition of the aierogenous matter sooa renders the entire mess raaeid. Onr attention has bean called te samples ef this material, and ne doubt the parties using it will cease after being aeqaainted with the facta. G. W. Shaw, Chemist, Oregon Experiment Station.

All successful speculators operate ou a regular system. It is a well known fact that there are thousands of men in all parts of the United States who, by systematic trading through Chicago brokers, make large amounts every year, ranging from a few thousand dollars for the man who invests a hundred or two hundred dollars up to 50,000 to $l'l0,00 or more by those who invest a few thousand. It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small invest ments on this plan are persons who live away from Chicago and invest through brokers who thoroughly understand systematic trading. Our plan does not risk the whole amount invested on any trade, but covers both sides, so that whether the market rises or falls it brings a steady profit that piles up enormously in a short time.
